Xue saw that his mind moved and said with a smile.

"City Lord Li should know that I am also a businessman, and I am very interested in this Yuan Jing, so it is better for us to cooperate. ”

Li Desheng asked with interest.

"I wonder how the general intends to cooperate?"

Xue Jian raised a glass of wine, and the two of them drank it all.

"I have a cooperative relationship with the Navigation Chamber of Commerce and the Xiangma Chamber of Commerce, plus my influence in the Imperial City, as well as the power of the Chu family in Nanfu City, I can help you smoothly open up other shipping routes and inland channels.

And this time I went to the Nanming Empire, I am confident that I will help Ling Gongzi negotiate this business. ”

Li Desheng and Li Can glanced at each other, pondered for a moment, and both nodded.

In fact, this time he went to the Nanming Empire, Li Can didn't have much confidence in his heart to negotiate, if there was Xue Jian's help, the certainty of success might be much greater.

Now that the cooperation has been preliminarily reached, the unpleasantness between several people has been completely left behind.

Li Can showed a smile on his face, raised his wine glass and punished Xue Jian three times, expressing his apology for his previous recklessness.

Xue Jian smiled and returned a salute.

Then the three of them talked about some things about the Nanming Empire, and then rushed to the dock together to take a boat and prepare to leave.

The elder of the Navigation Chamber of Commerce Branch had already learned from Xu Da what had just happened at this moment.

For this reason, he directly came forward and asked a passenger to give up the VIP cabin at a price ten times the compensation.

Whether it is Xue Jian, the new general of the cavalry, or the son of the city lord of Haibo City, the Navigation Chamber of Commerce will try every means to win it over.

Boarding the huge ferry, facing the salty sea breeze, Du Xiaoqing stood by the boat, looking at the sea, his eyes flashing with a gleam.

She had never felt so comfortable and free, as if she had been born to belong to the sea, close to those blue waves and cool sea breezes.

"Teacher, I love the sea so much, this is the first time I have come into contact with the sea so closely. ”

Her face was filled with joy, and the pain in her heart seemed to be soothed by the sea breeze at this moment.

Xue Jian replied with a smile.

"Your ancestors lived on the sea, and maybe the sea is your home. ”

Du Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and then gradually dimmed, and she said in a low voice.

"Teacher, do you know where my ancestors came from? My dad never told me that. ”

Xue Jian patted her weak shoulder and said softly.

"When you grow up and become stronger, I will tell you slowly, and I will ...... You may be able to return to the place where your ancestors lived. ”

Du Xiaoqing nodded, and a sweet smile bloomed on his face.

Although her appearance is immature, the strength in her eyes can be seen very clearly by Xue Jian.

Not long after, with the sound of a roaring horn, the huge ferry slowly sailed away from the harbor and headed for the depths of the sea.

Xue Jian accompanied her on the deck to watch the sea view for a long time, until a round of red sun fell below the surface of the sea, and the two returned to the cabin.

This ferry ship is very similar to the flying beast ship he has been on before, with eight floors, the lower five decks are for cargo shipments, the first and second decks are ordinary cabins, and only the third level is the VIP cabin.

It is said to be a cabin, but it is actually a large suite, with a living room on the outside, a living room on the inside, and a kitchen and balcony with a panoramic view of the sea.

Xue Jian let Du Xiaoqing live alone in the living room inside, while he cultivated in the living room outside.

Until late at night, Xue Jian slowly opened his eyes, and he didn't know if it was due to habit or too much longing, so he subconsciously called.

"Depend on ......"

His voice echoed in the empty room.

Xue saw that Leng was in a daze for a long time, and then he got up and walked to the balcony, looking at the dark sea, and the waning moon in the sky, reflected on the water.

Xue Jian took out a pot of sea urchin wine from his belt, raised his head and drank it.

Pot after pot, until the next morning, when Du Xiaoqing got up, found that Xue Jian had fallen drunk on the balcony, and seven or eight wine jars had rolled down on the ground.

"The teacher is thinking about the teacher again. ”

Du Xiaoqing sighed lightly, carried Xue Jian to the back room, and put him on her bed.

From the Imperial City all the way to Haibo City, this was not the first time she had seen Xue Jian drunk.

There is nothing she can do about this, and she doesn't know how to persuade her.

Silently leaving the house, closing the door, Du Xiaoqing began to cultivate in the living room.

Since the awakening of her bloodline talent, her cultivation speed can be described as a thousand miles a day, and in just over a month, she has already reached the ninth level of quenching her body and opening the true vein, which is the last few days.

In the blink of an eye, the ferry has been at sea for half a month.

In the past half a month, the journey has been smooth and unimpeded, and there have been no injustices, even the storms often encountered at sea, this ship has not encountered it, and the smooth almost made those crew and sailors a little uncomfortable.

In half a month, Du Xiaoqing opened up the first true vein early in the morning.

In addition to her own cultivation, Xue Jian also officially fulfilled her responsibility as a teacher and taught her her first martial art, wearing flower fingers.

Chu Yiyi is extremely proficient in this martial art, and he has also explained the subtleties to Xue Jian, and Xue Jian taught Du Xiaoqing what Chu Yiyi had explained to him.

I have to say that after Du Xiaoqing awakened his bloodline talent, his talent was amazing, which made Xue Jian amazed.

In his opinion, Du Xiaoqing's talent is a little worse than Chu Yiyi.

Wearing the flower finger is a martial art, and in just two or three days, Du Xiaoqing can use it proficiently.

In addition, Xue Jian's steady cultivation in the past half a month has also successfully broken through to the Danyuan Nine Fold.

In his spare time, he would also go to Li Can to drink and fish, chat about business, and his life at sea was not boring.

Another seven days passed.

In the evening of this day, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, the sea was stormy, the waves were surging, and a storm that had been long overdue finally came.

The crew was so skilled that they immediately returned all the passengers to their cabins.

Xue Jian and Du Xiaoqing stood on the balcony, watching the sea gradually turn from mild to furious.

At this moment, Xue Jian's eyes froze, and he looked down at the sea under the boat, his brows furrowed slightly.

Du Xiaoqing was puzzled on the side.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Jian's expression gradually became solemn, and he spoke.

"There seems to be something beneath the water's surface. ”

Du Xiaoqing's upper body was lying on the wooden railing of the balcony, looking down with his head down.

On the dim sea, the waves rolled up and down, and she looked at it for a long time without seeing anything.

She turned her head sideways to look at Xue Jian, her pink cherry lips pursed slightly, and she smiled.

"Teacher, there's nothing. ”

At this moment, a huge black shadow on the surface of the sea suddenly crashed into the bottom of the ship, causing the large ship to shake violently.

Du Xiaoqing's upper body was lying on the railing, and he was in a very relaxed state, and at this moment, with the shaking of the big boat, Du Xiaoqing's whole person was directly thrown out and fell towards the turbulent sea.
